I, for one, welcome our new Danish overlords. #Pastries #Gardens #HappinessIndex #LittleMermaid #EffectiveNaziResistance ktla.com/news/califor...

Dear my Congressman @congressmin.bsky.social, why can I book a plane ticket, make an appointment with my eyebrow lady, or schedule a Pilates class online, but just to make an appointment with SSA I have to wait on hold for 120+ minutes? Can't we figure out a way to do online appointments? #help

Does an FTC reg (16 CFR 465) create a private right of action? And if so, would the application of the rule as sought by plaintiff here violate the #firstamendment? Worth keeping an eye on: Stout Law Firm, LLP v. LAURENSAYS 5 et al., 8:25-cv-00126 (C.D. Cal, filed. Jan. 23, 2025.) #legalsky

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

It's a shame Trump lacks the "masculine energy" to deal with the cold. Obama did!

Can anyone recommend a popular history of the Knights Templar, preferably written less than 40 years ago? A few #history authors I like: Simon Schama, Stacy Schiff, Dan Jones, Christopher Hibbert. #booksky #historysky #medievalhistory #historians

One of my life's sidequests is to turn off the motion smoothing in every hotel room I set foot in. You're welcome. #WhoInventedThisMess #MotionSmoothingIsEvil

Oof, that neck on the crouching lady makes me want to head straight for Pilates class.

The two democrats who voted "yes" for this mess were Kathy Castor of FL and Maria Gluesenkamp Perez of WA. Unless they won their last election by less than 500 votes, I'm not really interested in whatever excuse they have for this bullshit. If you happen to be in their district, please call them.

I'm truly sorry, but no. I don't read unfinished series anymore, because I've been heartbroken by series I had a lot of emotional investment in that will likely never be finished. I have a limited book budget. So while I understand the dilemma here, and with deep respect to authors, no. #booksky

The only thing I miss about private practice is getting to write letters like this.

I'll take Unpleasant Flashbacks for $200, Alex.

Send a message to #SesameStreet at [email protected] and ask them to bring their character accounts over to #Bluesky. We learned the lessons they taught us, unlike many people at the Bad Place.

The GOP whining over #CA-13 over at the Bad Place is truly hilarious. What a bunch of crybabies. Elections are only real when they win, apparently.

It's so nice to see so many of my followed accounts move here from the Bad Place. If only someone could get the Sesame Street gang to move over. I really miss #Elmo, #TheCount, and the whole gang.

This is what makes your movies look like a soap opera recorded on cheap videotape. Turn it off!

Holy shit. Adam Gray has pulled ahead in #CA-13. #CA13. This one will go right down to the wire. If you ever needed proof that #everyvotecounts, this is it.

Important post! If you are or if you have non-citizens in your life, please read.

It's worth remembering that Gaetz won his 2024 election. If his AG nom tanks soon enough, AFAIK, he can still be sworn in come Jan. as a member of the new Congress, despite resigning from this one. Tell me if I'm wrong! #Gaetz #AG #house

It's still really close, but I like the trendline. I would much rather be Tran at this point. Derek Tran (D) 50.0 153,824 Michelle Steel* (R) 50.0 % 153,722 #CA45 #CA-45
